(ANSA) - Rome, October 1 - Vincenzo Boccia, the head of
Italian industrial employers federation Confindustria, on Monday
said his comments Saturday at a Confindustria assembly, which
included "we strongly believe in the League", were not an
endorsement of Matteo Salvini's right-wing party.
Boccia said the comments were actually a "provocation" on his
part to highlight "inconsistencies" in the League's stance, and
said suggestions of an endorsement were due to "exploitation
through some tweets".
Former industry minister Carlo Calenda had tweeted on
Saturday that Boccia's comment constituted an endorsement.
